bounds that Jerked us from our feet-Ior
Brown and knight threw the valve wide
open-the General bore us rapidly on.
The impotence of Andrews to reach the
bridge had not been diminished by the
appearance of this new element in the
situation.
Here our pursuers were greatly startled.
Their story had been swiftly told when
they reached Calhoun, and the engine and
tender of the passenger car, with re-en-
f0rcement of armed men, followed them
up the road. Fuller stood on the tender
Of his own train, which was in front, gaz-
ing intently forward to see il there was
any dangerous obstacle or break in the
track, such as they had already many
times encountered. Soon he beheld us at
work with feelings which cannot be de-
scribed. Before getting near enough to
see our number, we had mounted and
sped away, and he saw with exultation
that we had not broken the track, and
that there seemed to be no obstruction.
With full speed he ran on till too close to
stop, and then beheld what he believed, at
first, to he a broken rail and gave himself
up for lost; but it was on the inside of q
curve, and as an engine running rapidly
throws most of its weight on the outside,

straitened down, and they were safely
on the other side of this danger. The
next train, which followed almost imme-
diately after, did not notice the obstruc-
ton at all. There is scarcely q doubt
that two minutes more, enabling us to
finish getting rail up at this point, would
have given the control of the day into our
hands, for there were no more trains on
the road either to delay us or to be turned
back after us. But az it was, the Texas
pressed on after us without the slightest
loss Of Roadway.
The coming of this train before the
track was torn up was by far the most Sc
rious misfortune that we had yet encoun-
tered. But might it not still be overcome?
The plan which first presented itself to the
undismayed spirit of Andrews was to use
two OF our cars us projectiles and hurl
them back at the enemy. This was more
in accordance with his genius, which de-
lighted in strategy, than the plain course
which most of the soldiers would have
preferred; that is, u straight out and out
fight with the pursuing train. Accord
ingly our engine was reverSed-could we
have selected down grade the chance of
success would have been better, but we
were coming so near the bridge that we
could not delay to choose-and when the
speed in this way had been checked and
tho pursuing train was quite close and
still going fast, we uncoupled and bounded
on again. But the skillful pursuers were
not thus to be beaten. They saw what
they were about and checking their head
way when the car was dropped, they also
reversed, and coming up to it with modcr-
ate force, coupled on, which was easier
because their tender was in front.

CHAPTER X.
oOsTENAULA DEIpGE.

The bridge was now just at hand
What should we do? TO leave it intact
was TO be thought of only in the direst
necessity. We had carried our ammuni-
tion-the fuel we had gathcrcd-into our
last car, and while it was not rs good as
we would have liked, yet in q little time
we could mako fire. We now punched
Il hole in the back end Of our car--in fact
we had dono this in passing from one car
to another previous to dropping the lasG
one-and now began to let ties fall out on
the track while we ran. They followed us
lend over enc" and showed most per-
verse disposition to get off the track, but
few remained. This moderated the
speed Of the pursuing engine, which was
help that we sorely needed, for it was
now evident that they either had faster
engine than ours or better fuel. The
latter was certainly the case, for we had
been using wood very rapidly without any
opportunity for a long time past to re-
plenish it,
The first feeling Of dependency of the
whole route took possession Of us as we
approached the bridge, with our purSuer
close behind. The situation was in every
way unfavorable Tor US. If we passed by
without leaving it in ashes we felt that
one important part of our business would
be undone, even if we were completely
successful afterward in evading pursuit
and destroying the Chickamauga bridges
Murphy expresses the opinion that we
made great mistake at this point. There
was at this time long and high wooden
trestle by which the Resaca bridge Is ap-
preached. AS we came near we "slowed
up" and right in the middle OF this trestle
Il aeA
that IL VIC had but thrown 1t across the
track the bridge would have been ut our
mercy, Us well as all the bridges above
He is right, but the difficulty in doing this
is greater than he thinks. To pull or
push the car off by means of the engine
involved some risk of getting the engine
itself off, which would have been fatal.
We had no good means of moving it in
any other way, and the element of time
was all. important. The pursuers were
right behind, and while they could not
have fired on US ut effective range, they
could very quickly have alarmed the town
ahead OF us, and then tho track could have
been INSTRUCTED to prevent our passage.
1t Is easier to imagine what might have
been done than actually to do it, even il
the circumstances were repeated.
There was no opportunity to turn and
fight at this point. The town of Resaca
was within u few hundred yards of the
bridge, and any noise would bring help
from that quarter. Besides our pursuers
were armed with guns, and our only
chance of getting at close quarters was by
an ambuscade. Had the day been dry,
we could have flung fagots from the en-
glnc upon the roof, but now q fire even on
tho inside OF the large frame bridge
would require careful nursing. With q
station only few hundred feet ahead,
where the track might be SO easily OBJ
